Domtar Corporation (NYSE: UFS) (TSX: UFS) today announced that
more than 100 employee volunteers and their families from
HDIS (Home Delivery Incontinence Supplies Co.) in St.
Louis, MO, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Domtar Corporation,
joined members of the Student Conservation Association (SCA) in a
conservation project to revitalize Kirkwood Park in Kirkwood, MO.
Two local Girl Scout troops also joined the group of volunteers for
the conservation project at Kirkwood Park, which began at 9:00am on
Saturday and ran until 12:00pm.
HDIS is the leading national direct-to-consumer provider of
adult incontinence and related products, employs 270 people in the
greater St. Louis area, and has been awarded the St. Louis

sustainable wood fiber, and is one of the world’s largest producers
of a complete line of absorbent hygiene solutions and an innovator

“Domtar is committed to investing in the local communities where
it, and its member companies, operate,” said Domtar Corporate
Responsibility Manager, Heather Alverson Stowe. “Our commitment to
sustainability, one of the company’s core corporate giving pillars,
takes many forms—from the products it makes to the local community
service projects the employees support.”
More than 100 employee volunteers and families from HDIS (Home
Delivery Incontinence Supplies Co.) joined members of the Student
Conservation Association and two local Girl Scout troops to
revitalize the popular Kirkwood Park, cutting back invasive cedar,
laying wood chips on trails, weeding garden beds, and installing
new plantings throughout the park. A heavily-used park in the
Kirkwood neighborhood, Kirkwood Park features an outdoor
amphitheater, picnic sites, a playground, and softball fields. The
park also provides year-round fishing in participation with the
Missouri Department of Conservation trout program and annual
community festivals.
“We’re so proud that our parent company, Domtar, selected HDIS
to host a conservation project that will revitalize our beloved
Kirkwood Park—a community space that is vital to our families and
neighbors,” said Mark Nedvin, President of HDIS. “HDIS believes in
caring for our customers, and the communities we serve—and the fact
that our employees and families volunteered their Saturday to help
preserve Kirkwood Park reflects their deep commitment.”
Since 2012, Domtar has joined forces with nonprofit partner, the
Student Conservation Association, to lead conservation and
restoration projects that promote sustainability in the local
communities where Domtar employees and their families live and
work. SCA provides opportunities for young people to make a
positive impact on the world around them by protecting, enhancing,
and restoring national parks, marine sanctuaries, cultural
landmarks and urban green spaces.
“The Student Conservation Association stands for service,
stewardship, and sustainability – and local community park
conservation projects like this combine all three with equal doses
of teamwork and fun,” said Student Conservation Association
President and CEO Jaime Matyas. “The efforts of HDIS employee
volunteers and their families and Domtar’s sponsorship will help
preserve this popular park for future generations to enjoy. SCA is
delighted to partner with companies that want to aid our
environment and our communities.”
